[whatwg] <p> in <dialog>

[Michel Fortin]

I read this text recently:

<http://daringfireball.net/2006/12/ 
apple_universal_conjectural_transcript>

and wondered how it could be marked up using <dialog>. Basically,  
it's a fictional dialogue between two persons where once in a while  
the dialogue is interrupted by actions in separate paragraphs. It  
looks much like a scene in a screenplay.

The current spec only allows <dt> and <dd> inside <dialog>, so the  
markup for something like this would require closing <dialog> each  
time an action paragraph is added and reopening it afterward.  
Wouldn't it make more sense to allow regular paragraphs in <dialog>  
for situational information and action descriptions?
